Sinister: From the sundries.

Well hello ther list. So much for the 'Will' explosion, it seems my manopoly of being Adam has gone west equally rapily, though i seem to be the only one to use a capital at the beginning. I write sat on a listing swivel chair in the wonderfully airy [for which read drafty], computer basement of uea, its missing a castor and has already spread oil all over my hands and thence over the desk in front of me... fortunately no one has noticed so engrossed are they in their 'studies' but i'm not about to hang around for them to do so, hence the remainder of this will be [mercifully], brief. Not had any Belle and Sebastian dreams, guess i don't really have a firm enough image of them in my head, though i do have the odd one about the girl who introduced me to the joys of coffee, not as the subject, just as a character which is nice i suppose, though i haven't told her yet - i'm not sure how she'd react, best keep it to myself. That and recurring nightmare about being run over is all, not that ihave been you understand, its just the fear i have which causes me to cross roads like a startled cat causing much amusement to friends and family... twas rather pointless twas that, Adam[big A] ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Pavement, NOOO!!
by william hayes 24 Nov '99

Pavement can't split up, I haven't seen them play live enough times yet! I hope B&S remain strong, I haven't seen them play live ever! Hi Will, I take it I'm the other Will causing you're identity crisis, I could call myself 'ð' or something if you like :-) BabyChris; there is a pub in Old Hatfield called the Eight Belles, although it might actually be the Eight Bells, not sure, but someone famous stayed there a long time ago or something. It does very good real ale and if you beer is off they give you your money back and a fresh drink! If more of you like Zoe are wondering, there is a sinister chat room on Undernet called 'sinister', so there you go. I too, like Johan, am scared of horses. My brother's wife rides a horse called Brandy and he is big and scary, and they get in the way of my car when I want to zip through the winding country lanes at home, it spoils the fun and I'm just waiting for the day when I go aropund a corner and find a horse sitting on my bonnet, they pay no road tax and can easily go through fields instead of roads, it's better for their hooves, and cars don't shit on the road. Anyway... My brother lives in a small village outside Nottingham, it's called Gotham, which I think is cool but the locals pronounce it Goatam. I'd be proud to say I come from Gotham city/village if I were them. I'm waiting for the GSYBE LP I've ordered to arrive at my local Vinyl emporium, ooh I'm tingling with anticipat...ion. I'm also a bit annoyed that the new Beck LP is not out yet. It's been out on CD for ages and it doesn't arrive on vinyl until December, what's that all about? Well that's quite enough from me, bye bye everybody!

Sinister: Hot buttered crumpets
by Nick.Dastoor＠guardian.co.uk 24 Nov '99

24 Nov '99

Just saw this and thought it might be of interest. Long time Sinsisterine Isaac Hayes makes the bill! Huzzah. So do Mogwai! Hayawn. Nick xx MOGWAI PICK PARTY PEOPLE Mogwai Fear Symposium MOGWAI will headline and help choose the line-up of the rescheduled All Tomorrow's Parties festival, which will now take place at Camber Sands holiday camp from April 7-9. The band have earmarked acts as diverse as Digital Hardcore's Bomb 20, funk/soul legend Isaac Hayes and Steve Albini's Shellac to play the festival - the follow-up to the Belle & Sebastian-organised Bowlie Weekender held last spring. Promoters Foundation originally planned to stage All Tomorrow's Parties in September but pulled the plug after poor ticket sales. Stereolab, Tindersticks and Tortoise were originally due to play. Foundation boss Barry Hogan told NME: "We're hoping the majority of the bill from September should be available for next year's event. However, there may be those who will be unable to play due to recording or other touring commitments. "This is where Mogwai will add their own spin on the event. They've given us a list of over 70 bands they'd like us to approach and there are some very interesting names on it." Mogwai frontman Stuart Braithwaite said: "Bowlie was refreshing because half the bands weren't there because of greedhead agents foisting their half-arsed cack soon-to-be-has-been shite bands upon those who dare to get up before six o'clock. This event was clearly something that was close to the organisers' hearts, as shall ours. "If all goes to plan then some of the best bands and musicians in the world shall be playing Camber Sands next April. And there's a beach. And a swimming pool. And Symposium won't be playing. Religious miracles will occur." All tickets bought for September's All Tomorrow's Parties are still valid and more are now on sale at £90, subject to booking fee. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: 2nd time lucky...
by Mark Casarotto 24 Nov '99

24 Nov '99

Sorry to abuse the list like this, but to avoid confusion... The next TIGERMILKING, Upstairs at the Garage, London will now be taking place on Friday 7th January, NOT 3rd December as provisionally announced before. The Mean Fiddler lived up to their name and double booked us. We suggested having a scrap for it, but they wouldn't budge. So, sadly, the 7th January is the next free night, so if you're in or around London, please come along and have a moderate-to-good time with all your favourite Sinisterines. I'll try and set up a website flyer type thing sometime soon, but in the meantime, remember, this is a club for the Sinister massive - be there or be in Gay Dad (sorry Erica :-)) I saw The Tube the other night, and although I bopped along smiling cheesily to Middle Distance Runner, I wouldn't say it's must-see TV. The band were great, the new ending was a big improvement, but it wasn't surprising, and the song sounded, unsurprisingly, a tiny bit weedy on a quiet telly screen. Isobel's hair looked nice, and Stuart David is undoubtedly the cover star of the next Acid Jazz album, though he does pull off that none-more-cool look with much more aplomb than he should. Smelling of wee, and all. :-) My wrist hurts. God, I wish I hadn't written that. It was the wallpaper scraping, honest :-) Sticking two fingers in the air, Biondino xxx ******************************************************************* The contents of this e mail from HIT Entertainment PLC are confidential and intended for the addressee only.

Sinister: Willenium Fever
by William Messent 24 Nov '99

24 Nov '99

Ay up youths, Well I didn't manage to 'catch' the 'Tube' (do you see what I did there?). I only have normal telly so I had to make do with 'Compromising Situations' on Channel 5. Again. I was back in Nottingham because it was my birthday on Monday, and a very good time I had too thankyou. I drank in the bar at Carlton Police Station. If you want to send presents, please do so. Can you send presents by email? Or will it make my 'mailbox' overflow onto 'homepages'? I don't know much about this electronic business, though I heard it can give you cancer. I haven't voted for 'Gregory's Girl' yet but I will soon. My favorite film this year is 'Meet Joe Black'. The one about the big gorilla. I don't think I ever had a Belle & Sebastian related dream. I should really make a smutty comment about Isobel here but I don't actually know what she looks like. Is she fit? The only time I've seen the band on telly was when the two lads collected their Brit award, and frankly I thought they could have made more of an effort for such a big occasion. I'd have thought that they could have worn ties at least. A lot of Glasgow listees seem to bump into band members on a daily basis. I shall remember to loiter around Pizza Hut next time I'm up there. I once met ex-Notts County player John Chedozie on a golf course when I was a kid. I asked him for an autograph. 'Piss off son' came his reply. My car broke down on the motorway last Friday. £325 the bastard cost to fix. Not B&S related but I thought I'd mention it. Archel, thanks for your subtly corrupt recommendation of 'Midday Money'. I, unfortunately, am not a student, but I managed to catch it the other day and it did help, despite the best efforts of Richard and Judy. Is she fit? I see that there's a new Will in town. That's OK though, the more the merrier. I shall now refer to myself as The Artist Formerly Known As Will. Or I'll just use my Sunday name. Briefly touching on the Y2K theme, a friend of mine works for British Airways, and he tells me that they have rented Slough Ice Stadium for New Year's Eve to use as a makeshift morgue in case it all goes shit-shaped. Eek! Of course, he could be winding me up. In the meantime I'm off to read a book about masculinity in films by Laura Mulvey. Is she fit?

Sinister: Agghhhh - Pavement!!!!! / b&s hotel group?
by BabyChris Crystalballs 24 Nov '99

24 Nov '99

I just heard this morning that pavement were splitting up. Apparently it was at the london gig, and steve m said that a pair of handcuffs represented what it was like to be in a band. And other stuff. That IS bad. But not as bad as it would be if b&s split. I didn't like the vibes that were coming off from the webchat. If stu d left it would suck. maybe he has to consider his big beat credibility. but seriously - I think that I would most likely end up in tears like those hoards of screaming take that fans did. It's just that b&s are, in my eyes, one of the few things in life that you CAN depend on. scarves too. I thought that they were a bit like a gang, you know. oh, well. It might never happen. (voice in head says "yes! - yes it will") oh yeah. I saw a giggarette lighter that my mum had the other day. It was from some hotel or other in england. It read "THE EIGHT BELLES". The hotel was somewhere in yorkshire, I think. I can find out for you all if anyone wants to stay there. Besides, I thought that there was only 1 bel, and seven drunken scottish layabouts (does anyone know what thier favourite tipple IS? My guess is Jack Daniels. I remember reading somewhere that Chris drank a JackD and coke at an interview.) Yeah, and I happen to love bel. she's my favourite - she sings so sweetly. And if anyone says otherwise WE CAN ARRANGE TO STEP OUTSIDE AND SETTLE THIS LIKE REAL MEN. HUH? ANY OFFERS? thought not. I spoke to lauren on instant messenger the otherday. I9t was fun. I was a bit stuck for words though, like stu and karn were when they met up. Our chat served to teach me this - THE AMERICANS HAVE VERY LITTLE OR NO KNOWLEDGE ABOUT SCOTTISH WORDs. It made it awkward when I had to explain the meaning of every second word. gotta go. bye Babychris CRYSTALBALLS __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Thousands of Stores.

aaaaah, i'm feeling loved. and i've been having one of those really lonely days when i've not really talked to anyone properly and knew that i couldn't do anything exciting because i've got growing piles of work to do.* but lo!!! i look in my inbox and i see proclamations of love for me, no matter that out of the thousand-odd of you out there one was from a gay bloke and one was from a girl, and no matter that i've never met any of you, it still made me smile:-) thats no reason to stop, mind, i've got a bit of an ian brown complex about being adored, and i won't give up until i've taken over the world. soon you will all be my slaves, put to work knitting scarves and cardigans for my twee army and rescuing injured bunny rabbits to be filmed for my 24hour tv channnel showing only pet rescue presented by isobel and her squirrel friends. (fee breaks out into manic laughter and has to have a cup of tea to calm down) phew!! nearly let you all in on my masterplan for world domination, must have forgotten to take my pills this morning. i did have some content of some kind to put in here but it escapes me for the moment, so i'll go back to my essay for a bit while i try to remember... ....no its still not come to me, but i can tell you lots about metphysical poetry and how not to cheer up a lonely lurker (hello tim:-)) i shall bid you all farewell for now and hope i don't get thrown in the nursery for posting such nonsense stay beautiful, fiona *this really is how i was feeling today, summed up by the man himself i want to go home i don't want to stay give up education as a bad mistake +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: equestrian sports
by Johan Nilsson 23 Nov '99

23 Nov '99

bonjour mes amies. my girl is into horsemanship, training horses to walk beautifully. i told my friend about it and he laughed and said that she probably has a horse-wip and that is good for the sexlife. does belle & sebastian like horses? or are they mocking judy for liking horses or does that song even have anything to do with horses? my impression is that they defend the girls who like horses and that i should do the same thing. i have no interest in horses, in fact, i have not even sat on a horse. i sat on a ponny once as a wee tod but that is a long time ago. horses smell awfully - actually i feel bad because i always make up excuses for not coming with her and meet her horse. i have done, he is big - big and scary. so when she asks if i wanna take a ride i just shake my head and say nothing. one sunday i agreed to come and see her compete. her suit gives me goosebumps, but it was still very random to be there. it is not like going to a football game. ok. i said some mean things about isobel and her music last time. i feel bad because i didn't really mean anything. i am sure isobel is a sweet and lovely person and i would probably faint if i saw her in real life. trashing her music doesn't make any situation any better, even though i don't like the gentle waves i think she can do wonders. "belle & sebastian, they bring all their equipment on the bus..." oh yeah yeah, that is an introduction to the lovely violent femmes, but wouldn't that fit belle & sebastian? maybe not. oh about animals, dogs. every time i hear tindersticks "bathtime" i think of belle & sebastian's "dog on wheels". i don't know why, but i think it has something to do with the rhythm, yeah that's it, the rhythm. *huggies* johan +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
